Crape myrtle trees blooming and bipolar illness?

DOES THE BLOOMING OF CRAPE MYRTLE TREES HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH BIPOLAR ILLNESS. iS THERE ANY REFERENCE IN HISTORY TO ANY CONNECTION WITH THE TIME OF YEAR CRAPE MYRTLE TREES BLOOM AND THE ONSET OF OF AN EPISODE OF BIPOLAR ILLNESS (MIXED).

Crape myrtle trees blooming and bipolar illness?
That's strange. My crape myrtles are blooming now and this is the time of year that I have my worst episode. I associate it with the beginning of fall though.
Reply:Interesting question.Just about as relevant as assuming if a dog howls at night,someone just died. Who's to say there is or isn't a connection. Better get a lot of empirical data together before you base your term paper on this.
Reply:I don't know when they bloom, but during parts of the year (excessive sun or lack thereof) can bring on manic or depressive episodes respectively. Also, some preliminary studies have suggested allergies can bring on mood changes. I heard this on the nightly news but don't recall who did the study.
